Elmer Borlongan always had contemporary Filipino culture as a reference. Brolongan's works stand as testaments to the power of form. His figurative works are drawn from the energies of urban living. His obsession lies not in depicting the ordinary but in highlighting the visually disturbing images of an imperfect world. Borlongan is the prize of collectors, the indulgence of art dealers, and the envy of many fellow artists. Borlongan's vivid Realist Expressionism hits chords with avid collectors and observant laypeople alike.
